Great A-Z list. As for D - I want to bring my snowmen out, but I don't have a lot that aren't Christmasy (you know, holding a tree or decked out in red and green). I'm always on the lookout for some un-Christmasy ones though.

Oh I'm loving your list! I'm going to copy it, so imaginative and talented you are. Thank you so much for a year of recipe sharing, I got a few terrific ones. Wishing you sweet piggy a very happy New Year.FABBY

Oh Lynn, you are too funny. You hit me on the head on several - yes, definitely bloated and miserable, yet keep shoving in more holiday foods! I always gain after Christmas, before I am too busy. Nope, the Christmas lights NEVER got taken down last year (shame)! Yes, Valrhona is wonderful. So glad to have been your friend for another year! Have a great New Year.
